Illumination Theory
[I. Paradoxe de la Lumière Noire]
[Instrumental]
[II. Live, Die, Kill]
Consider this questionLook deep insideDeliver a true confessionWhat are you willing to live for?
Consider this questionOpen your eyesExamine your own reflectionWhat are you willing to die for?
When your backs' against the wallAnd the times uncertainConsider this questionNo standing byWhen flesh and blood are threatenedWhat are you willing to kill for?
We seek to understandWe cry with head in hand
The bridges we build to connectThe distance that makes us forgetHate dividing us, love reminding usOf our shared humanity
Hope can be a shadow fleetingI would rather die believingChancing it all in a final act of faith
We seek to understandWe cry with head in hand
A story that needs to be toldAn answer that begs to be foundThe beauty we wish to beholdIs never too far away
[III. The Embracing Circle]
[Instrumental]
[IV. The Pursuit Of Truth]
Mothers for their childrenHusbands for their wivesMartyrs for the kingdomFighting for your life
A soldier for his countryA junkie for the highTeachers for their studentsVengeance for a crime
Rebels for their freedomA tyrant for the praiseCowards for salvationMoney, love, and fame
Noble and braveLay down our lives for the causeDeath over shameGrace before glory
[V. Surrender, Trust & Passion]
To really feel the joy in lifeYou must suffer through the painWhen you surrender to the lightYou can face the darkest days
If you open up your eyesAnd you put your trust in loveOn those cold and endless nightsYou will never be alone
Passion glows within your heartLike a furnace burning brightUntil you struggle through the darkYou'll never know that you're aliveNever knowNever knowYou'll never knowNever knowNever knowNever know
